Celebrate Forest Sunday

Posted: Sunday, August 29, 2010

Join in celebration the beauty and gifts of nature with a worship celebration hosted by Aldersgate United Methodist Church at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 5 at the Auke Recreation Area large pavilion. A cookout and games will follow.

This celebration will be led by Judy Shook, pastor of Aldersgate, who studied with Matthew Fox, a ground-breaking theologian who has written numerous books about how we are a part of creation and we can learn many spiritual lessons from the "Book of Nature." Shook invites the community to come "explore where the longings of your soul are met by the beauty of creation, the song of your heart is met in the celebration of community, the questions of your mind are met with the wonders of the universe, the passions of your life meet the needs of the world."
